New icon and pointer
« on: February 27, 2009, 08:53:20 AM »
I've changed the SBCC icon to a better looking icon (IMO) and everyone who's in the SBCC who has an icon should now be pointing to the SBCC folder and not the original single post.

Question, don't you think the post should be a sticky?

Not any more, created new sticky for an introduction and think it'd be more advantageous for the overall group to have individual posts. That way conversations can be kept in more control about new members and well help everyone not have to read several hundred different posts throughout the thread. :)

A suggestion... You might want to add an ALT text to each icon. :)

I never said "extension"....... ???

ALT text is "alternate" text for images on a web page, and you can see it if the image doesn't display properly or you move the mouse over the image.

Unfortunately with the mod I'm using that allows this to be possible it cannot be done. I'm using BBC code to create a link and the image and as far as I'm aware Alt or more preferably the "title" tag option is not available in the BBC code.

Yes it is and yes it does. However, doing HTML requires either that it either be put in the list, in which case it'd be started with something such as the "os: or computer:" or if you wanted it part of the icons (which is where it is now) you have to add the HTML in the before or after text section and the only way to get it to be displayed then is if you add text. So unfortunately to get it the way it is now (which I personally like best) it has to be done using BBC. If you can figure out an alternative method to get the same look please feel free to explain to me how to do it.

    Hello admin.  You have a tiny typo in the introduction.  Right next oto the little icon, you typed "SBBC" instead of "SBCC."  It doesn't bother me, but it may bother others. ;)

    Update: I've updated this and each of the other icons to have text displayed when the mouse is hovered over the icon.

        Think I found it and corrected. Let me know what the URL is if I didn't get the one you were referring to.
